Chapter 1.2, Problem 1PPA

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given temperatures and the difference between them are to be converted into degrees Fahrenheit.

Concept introduction:

Fahrenheit and Celsius are two common temperature scales.

Celsius and Fahrenheit use differently sized degrees.

The size of a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is only five-ninths on the Celsius scale.

Conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to Fahrenheit is expressed as:

${\text{temp in }}^{\circ }\text{F}=\frac{{\text{9}}^{\circ }\text{F}}{{\text{5}}^{\circ }\text{C}}\times ({\text{temp in }}^{\circ }\text{C)}+{32}^{\circ }\text{F}$

Here, ${}^{\text{o}}\text{F}$ is the temperature in Fahrenheit, ${}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ is the temperature in Celsius.
